For chips I often add a diode that is used for nothing but temperature
recording.

Do you connect the diode to I/O pins, or use some internal trick to
read it?


For the prototypes it's usually connected to a package pin, though it
may only be a probe pad.

It's normally not used in the final product.

The latest game in town uses a MUX to look at a variety of internal
points thru a single test pin.
